Passion for Reptiles, Compassion for All
At Dragonscales Reptile Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc., we believe that every creature deserves care, dignity, and a safe place to call home—no matter how small, misunderstood, or scaly they may be.
We are a nonprofit organization devoted exclusively to the rescue, rehabilitation, and long-term sanctuary of reptiles and exotic animals in need. From abandoned pet snakes and neglected lizards to turtles displaced by circumstance, our mission is to step in when others can’t—or won’t.

Isabella
When our school’s science room pet needed a better home, Dragonscales gave us an incredible alternative. They're a valuable resource in the community.
Sophia
I had no idea where to turn when I could no longer care for my bearded dragon. Dragonscales took him in with compassion and even helped me learn how to avoid this situation in the future. I’m forever grateful.
Michael
These folks truly care about the animals. I adopted a ball python from them and they made sure I knew everything I needed. I felt supported every step of the way.
